THE ELDER SCROLLS CHAPTER 2: DAGGERFALL FAQ, v0.992

This section, DAGGERFALL's Bugs, currently outlines the
known bugs existing in the demo. Eventually, when DAGGERFALL is
released, it will give bugs found in the game and patch information. It may
also give possible solutions to correctable errors.
WARNING: This Area Is Under Construction.
The FAQ Authors believe an updated DEMO would be very worthwhile,
especially since it is a major part of the advertising for the game.
However, Bethesda is rightly focussing most of its attentions on the
game. A new demo is only feasible, preferable & likely after the
release of DAGGERFALL.
Please provide one of the FAQ Co-Authors will any Demo Bug Details
that dont appear below, along with enough information for us to
attempt to recreate the bug. The first 5 bugs are well known to
BETHESDA, the company has promised to have them fixed for the full
game. The others may require some lobbying to BETHESDA! Our
understanding is that they are using the release of the Demo to
attempt to eradicate a whole range of bugs from the game, if not the demo.
The bugs listed below may not necessiarily occur in the second version of
the Demo (for more information check out the Tell Me About the Demo
section).
- If you pick some chain boots from Monster inventory the game will crash
- Using the keyboard for movement is slower than the mouse
- There is no monster AI (eg. dodging your attacks)
- Monsters get stuck in the walls
- It is occasionally possible to vanish into the void (the area outside the demo)
- Character occasionally steers constantly to the left after having moved backwards
- When a monster dies close to a wall, you cant get at its treasure
- If you rest while your weapon is equipped, you often cant reequip it
- Helmet Icons often have a black border
- Casting a spell while kneeling on a downward slope appear to
make the spell effects come from above your head
- It is possible to see the black background behind where two
walls meet when you look at it from a certain angle
- Sometimes, while running full screen, part of your sword disappears, apparently
that part that would be covered by the status bar.
- Equipping the blue & gold bra (!) causes the game to crash. This information was provided
for all you cross dressers...:)
- 'Pops' interrupting the music for many sound cards.
NOTE: the Demo runs slow on anything less than Pentium; this,
unfortunately, is not a bug.
